Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission
New at DVRPC - volume 4.2

"New at DVRPC" highlights some of the most recent additions to the DVRPC Website.

Dots and Dashes Website Dots & Dashes allows regional residents and stakeholders to discuss and express their priorities for future investments in public transportation in a fun, hands-on game setting. Each group finishes the game with a list and map of future investment priorities that, together with the results of other groups who play, informs DVRPC's next Long Range Plan and other projects, including a new Regional Transit Vision plan.

Connections Website The new Connections website contains information about the development of the new regional long-range plan. The website contains a link to the on-line survey and the results will be posted on the website in late March. The Connections website will be updated throughout the development of the Plan and be used to promote additional public events.
